NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby agreed and acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Securities Exchange.
(a) In consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Holder agrees to deliver and surrender to the Company for cancellation the Warrants, in exchange for an aggregate total of _________ shares of Common Stock (“Exchange Shares”) and the Company agrees to issue and deliver the Exchange Shares to the Holder.
(b) The closing under this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place upon the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 hereof (the “Closing Date”).
(c) At the Closing, the Holder shall deliver to the Company for cancellation the Warrants. At the Closing, the Company shall issue to the Holders a certificate(s) evidencing the Exchange Shares.
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Holder. The Holder hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company, and covenants for the benefit of the Company:
(a) To the extent the Holder is a corporation, limited liability company or other type of entity, the Holder is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.
(b) This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Holder and is a valid and binding agreement and obligation of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to limitations on enforcement by general principles of equity and by bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and the Holder has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
(c) The Holder understands that the Exchange Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on specific provisions of Federal and state securities laws, and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Holder set forth herein for purposes of qualifying for exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

(d) The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act.
(e) The Holder will be acquiring the Exchange Shares for their own account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to any resale or distribution in whole or in part, in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities laws; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder does not covenant to hold the Exchange Shares for any minimum period of time.
(f) The offer and sale of the Exchange Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) and/or 4(2) thereof. The Holder understands that the Securities purchased hereunder are “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in the Securities Act and the rules thereunder, have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that none of the Exchange Shares can be sold or transferred unless they are first registered under the Securities Act and such state and other securities laws as may be applicable or the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available (and then the Exchange Shares may be sold or transferred only in compliance with such exemption and all applicable state and other securities laws).
(g) The Holder owns and holds, beneficially and of record, the entire right, title, and interest in and to the Warrants free and clear of all rights and Encumbrances (as defined below). The Holder has the full power and authority to vote, transfer and dispose of the Warrants free and clear of any right or Encumbrance other than restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, there is no outstanding vote, plan, pending proposal, or other right of any person to acquire all or any of the Warrants. As used herein, “Encumbrances” shall mean any security or other property interest or right, claim, lien, pledge, option, charge, security interest, contingent or conditional sale, or other title claim or retention agreement, interest or other right or claim of third parties, whether perfected or not perfected, voluntarily incurred or arising by operation of law, and including any agreement (other than this Agreement) to grant or submit to any of the foregoing in the future.
(h) In the event the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants were registered by the Company under the Securities Act (the “Registered Warrant Shares”), the Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Exchange Shares are not registered under Securities Act, and, by exchanging any such Warrants for Exchange Shares, the Holder shall not receive Registered Warrant Shares that otherwise may have been issued upon exercise thereof.
3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder, and covenants for the benefit of the Holder, as follows:
(a) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Nevada, with full corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted, and is duly registered and qualified to conduct its business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction or place where the nature of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such registration or qualification, except where the failure to register or qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects, or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
(b) The Exchange Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, the Exchange Shares shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind.

(c) This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and is a valid and binding agreement and obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to limitations on enforcement by general principles of equity and by bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and the Company has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
(d) The execution and delivery of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Company, will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of or a default under any of the terms or provisions of, (A) the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or (B) of any material provision of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its material properties or assets is bound, (ii) result in a violation of any provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, or any existing applicable decree, judgment or order by any court, Federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its material properties or assets or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them may be bound or to which any of their property or any of them is subject except in the case of clauses (i)(B), (ii) or (iii) for any such conflicts, breaches, or defaults or any liens, charges, or encumbrances which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) The delivery and issuance of the Exchange Shares in accordance with the terms of and in reliance on the accuracy of the Holder’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(f) No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement or the offer, sale or issuance of the Exchange Shares or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(g) The Company has complied and will comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the offer, issuance and delivery of the Exchange Shares hereunder. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly, has or will sell, offer to sell or solicit offers to buy any of the Exchange Shares, or similar securities to, or solicit offers with respect thereto from, or enter into any preliminary conversations or negotiations relating thereto with, any person, or has taken or will take any action so as to bring the issuance and sale of any of the Exchange Shares under the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Exchange Shares.
(h) The Company represents that it has not paid, and shall not pay, any commissions or other remuneration, directly or indirectly, to any third party for the solicitation of the Exchange. Other than the exchange of the Warrants, the Company has not received any consideration for the Exchange Shares. By virtue of such exchange, the holding period for the Exchange Shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act shall begin no later than the holding period for the Warrants, as applicable.
(i) The Company shall cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, and not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company will take all action necessary to continue the listing or trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Pink Market or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading.
